Method

SET

Command for Set Endpoint Titrations (

SET

).

Principle

With this command titrations to one or two preset endpoints are carried out. The
termination of the titration at the endpoint is either drift-controlled or after a waiting
period. The volume that has been added when the endpoint is reached gives the

calculable reagent consumption.

Reagent addition takes place in three phases during the titration:

• Initial addition

During this phase the dosing rate increases continuously. It starts with
the

Minimum rate

and increases to the

Maximum rate

.

• Continuous addition

In this phase addition is carried out at the

Maximum rate

until the

Con-

trol range

is reached.

• Control range

In this range addition is finely controlled. Shortly before the end point
is reached addition is only carried out at the

Minimum rate

(see "Con-

trol range").

Note

This command is used for rapid routine determinations when the end point does
not change throughout a series or when an excess of reagent must be avoided.

Commands

Depending on the measured value one of the following four

SET

commands can

be chosen:
